Of course he obviously has a core wound around physical attractiveness insecurity. You can see he is overcompensating for it.

I notice that short men try to be and do extra macho things to overcompensate. Joe Rogan is a clear example.

These men have trauma around being bullied, picked on, or just not loved enough. So they try to validate themselves through aesthetically masculine activities like grilling elk meat shirtless.

Lolz

Insecurity is a stubborn bitch.

I can definitely relate to that to some degree. But upon any further inspection, all meaning behind these activities starts to melt away. That's how you know it's all BS LOL

It is a sort of madness trying to fix something internal and intangible like a samskara with something external. 

Like trying to reshape a concrete block by yelling at it.

Like trying to nail a ghost to the drywall with a nailgun

The Liver King dude takes this dynamic to a comical level.

It's like male insecurity turned into lifelong performance art.

So he is blackpilled about dating and still does the stuff he's doing with his body? Still being obsessed with becomming some sort of midget Hulk? Pretty strange if you ask me LOL

He might just prefer that aesthetic.

But it very likely stems from trying to compensate from past situations, like he describes.

And he does that by trying to look his very best... even if it's not geared towards dating.

Even his idea of "fixing the unattractiveness problem" for women and for people in general seems to come from an unhealed place.

Like, I watched the first 20 minutes of this video several weeks back. Maybe a month or so ago. 

And he was talking about a hypothetical example of a young unattractive woman who likes a guy. But the guy doesn't like her back. And he was empathizing with her but projecting his male orientation towards dating onto this hypothetical unattractive woman as well.

And (as a side note) he seemed to be under the impression that the "guy doesn't like you back" scenario only happens to very unattractive women. But when a woman likes a man, there's probably only a 50% chance or less that he'll like her back. Of course, women who are in the top 5% of attractiveness will have most guys saying yes. But that doesn't mean those guys really like her either.

But listening to his reasoning for why he wanted to create this attractiveness solution, I was like, "This guy needs to learn the wise woman way of dealing with this issue." 

If you're a woman and the guy you like doesn't find you attractive, if you're wise, you learn the lesson of "This isn't the guy for me." And you sort that guy from consideration. 

You don't try to attract more or fix your appearance to be appealing to the guy who's not interested in you... you become more ruthless in your sorting until you're with a guy who's really into you and your typical physical appearance.

And that might be somewhat difficult for a woman who's a 1 or a 2 because the pool of candidates will be smaller.... but it's still totally doable. And for a woman who's a 3 and above, there will be plenty of opportunities to strike a good match.

It usually takes girls/women some years to learn this. But learning it leads to a greater sense of self-respect and a raising of standards regarding the depth of interest the guy has in her.

I feel like Mike Israetel is still operating in the, "I need to maximize my attractiveness to be accepted by people" dynamic. 

But he's a decent-looking guy in the first place. And even if he weren't, that mindset shift around his appearance would do him well.

One doesn't need to be maximally attractive (or attractive at all) to have a partner and friends. 

The only thing that's necessary is a high degree of self-respect and the willingness to sort those from consideration who don't value you.

This makes me think of Javier Hernandez, a Mexican footballer who earlier this year went on social media and accused women of exterminating masculinty and said something like that they should stay at home and serve men. It just made so much sense to me that he would do this, because he has always been famous for being short and having a babyface. It’s so characteristic in his case that he is called «Chicharito» (little pea). That look is almost exactly how I imagine certain someones on this forum with similar views on women…

Sharp observation, it's actually a thing:

One of many of the ego's compensation shortcut's for confidence and self esteem, even if fragile or inflated.

Probably a lot of it comes also from the insane levels of group thinking that comes with being part of a football team and spending time everyday in a locker room with another 20 dudes.
